Critics Review
“I am impressed with new writer Eileen Brady, a veterinarian by profession, and her first mystery novel, Muzzled. There is no doubt she knows her stuff as a vet. She also did a great job of incorporating that knowledge into her writing….Muzzled is a delightful book and I look forward to the second in this new series.” * Bookloons *“Winner of the Poisoned Pen Discover Writers Contest, Brady’s series debut is stellar. She weaves in details about the veterinary practice without overwhelming the plot, and the scenic Hudson River setting (think Rhinebeck) enhances the mystery. Recommend for Beth Groundwater readers: gentle but exciting, too.” (starred review) * Library Journal *“Readers will want to see more of the likable Kate, who, as she snoops and doctors, provides an inside look at quirky pet owners and the oft-satirized dog show set (shoe polish shines a nose!). She even imparts wisdom on such matters as clipping parrot toe nails and the importance of doggie weight loss diets.” * Publishers Weekly *“Muzzled is an enjoyable read for both the light mystery fan and the dog lover, and if they are one and the same, it’s a double delight.” * NY Journal of Books *“Kate’s debut has plenty to offer pet lovers and mystery mavens alike.” * Kirkus Reviews *“Here is a novel written with exacting authority, along with a frolicking sense of humor about life, animals, and the lengths to which someone will go to right a wrong, all while still maintaining a solid sense of tension and suspense. I look forward to future mysteries featuring the charismatic Dr. Kate Turner…and I’m sure you will, too!” * James Rollins, New York Times best-selling author of The Eye of God *“A delightful and lively mystery that introduces Kate Turner, a veterinarian with heart, humor and a new penchant for solving murders. A promising first novel that will leave readers begging for more.” * Earlene Fowler, Agatha-awarding winning author of the Benni Harper mystery series *
